Karen Staunton-Ross is coming to Newcastle to present the proposed updates to AS 1926.1:2024, Swimming pool safety – safety barriers for swimming pools (AS 1926.1:2024) expected to come into effect later this year.
We invite you to hear Karen explain the updates to the standard and to join the discussion on pool fence regulations, while connected with fellow designers in Octopus Garden Design's office.
Karen Staunton-Ross, Landscape Design Institute Fellow, has been representing Landscape Designers in a rigorous review process involving Standards Australia and industry stakeholders. Karen has been championing for improved definitions around plants and objects in the non-climbable zone (NCZ). So now for the first time, the Standard addresses plants within NCZs, with new clauses and figures included.
We invite you to hear Karen explain the updates to the standard and to join the discussion on pool fence regulations.
This is essential information for all designers who regularly design residences with swimming pools or other water features.
